What is Addiction Counseling?

I work with adults who are curious about their relationship with substances—whether you are considering sobriety, navigating recovery, exploring moderation or harm reduction, or simply wondering whether something in your life is asking to change.

I don't believe substance use exists in isolation. It is often interwoven with our stories, relationships, joy, pain, nervous systems, longing, and the ways we have learned to cope and find relief. Our work can include practical support around cravings, patterns, relapse prevention, relationships, and sustainable change, while also exploring the deeper questions underneath.

For some, this work also opens into questions of meaning, spirituality, identity, and connection. I welcome experiences that may be difficult to put into ordinary language—including shifts in perspective, spiritual questions, and transformative or non-ordinary experiences that challenge or expand how you understand yourself and the world.

There is no single path to healing. As a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) and Social Worker Licensure Candidate (SWLC), I will walk with you as you navigate your path. My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, grounded in harm reduction, and deeply respectful of your autonomy. Together, we can explore what a healthier, more intentional relationship with yourself, substances, and your life might look like for you.
